Will Learns to Kickflip in 5 Minutes with SkaterTrainers

Will tried a pair of SkaterTrainers and was landing kickflips in minutes (after trying for months without).  Will is 19 years old and a recreational skater with a solid Ollie and very comfortable on his skateboard.   He has been skating for several years and like many of us, has really struggled getting past the kickfiip. 

 

SkaterTrainer Review and Testimonial from Skateboard Content Expert

SkaterTrainers have been getting great feedback from skaters and experts.  Our users swear by them and we recently received a great review from Steve Cave.   Steve runs the About.com/Skateboarding page and is an authority on learning how to skateboard and skateboard equiement.    Google “How to Ollie” or “How to Skateboard” or “Skateboard Tricks” and many many others, and Steve appears on the first page of results.    Anyway, here is what recognized authority Steve Cave had to Say about SkaterTrainers:
 
“I don't get why no one thought of them before now! They're brilliant, easy to use, and every new skater should get a pair!

 

“When learning tricks, especially as a new skater, it's miserable to try to learn things like how to ollie, when the board can (and probably will) shoot out from under you. Then you bust up your wrist, and have to spend two months healing before you can get back to it (I'm speaking from experience!).”..............

Common Learn to Ollie Problems, Timing of the Slide

Why can't I ollie? Based on a Facebook survey of our community, the two biggest problems our group is having with their Ollie is the timing of the slide and landing the ollie.  Today's post is about timing.   A future post will address the landing.

A set of SkaterTrainers is guaranteed to help you work on your tricks, and learn the steps just like what is described here.   SkaterTrainers help you work out timing issues without falling.  When you're learning how to ollie, SkaterTrainers help you work out commitment issues, helping get over your fear of landing with both feet on the board.  Order yours here.

Here are the most important points on the timing of the slide.   See the pictures from a video we shot with Dylan showing off some SkaterTrainers.......
